The service is run by officials from the Department of Children and Youth Affairs and the Department of Justice and Equality, who’s Ministers, are both responsible for the Children Act 2001. The main aims and methods of the Irish Youth Justice Service are as follows:

This challenge is met by focusing on diversion and rehabilitation involving greater use of community-based interventions and the promotion of initiatives to deal with young people who offend. Providing a safe and secure environment for detained children and supporting their early re-integration back into the community is also a key function.” (Irish Youth Justice Service, 2005)
The Minister for Children and Youth Affairs, Frances Fitzgerald, who was elected in 2011 and has been Ireland’s first ever Minister for Children and Youth Affairs, is responsible for the three Children Detention Schools in Ireland which are located in Dublin, and also the Child Care aspects of the Children Act 2001.
